Looking surprisingly innocuous today, the missiles that nearly caused World War III are laid out on a grassy knoll behind the Cabaña fort put there on the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 2012. Here you can ponder the Soviet R-12 nuclear rocket with a range of 2100km that was stationed in Pinar del Río in 1962 and caused the Kennedy administration and the rest of the world plenty of sleepless nights.
Also on show is the wing of an American U2 spy plane shot down over Holguín province on October 27, 1962.
